First A400M for Malaysia takes shape

The first of four Airbus Defence and Space A400M Atlas transport aircraft for Malaysia will shortly begin ground testing ahead of delivery in 2015.
The aircraft - MSN022 - is currently in the latter stages of the final assembly line in Seville, Spain, with all of the major components now put together. Following the completion of ground and flight trials, it will be delivered to the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) in the first quarter of 2015. Two more will be delivered in that year, with the final aircraft set to be handed over in 2016.janes
